"Another Blast from the Past"

Very close to the Sudbury Basin Crater but not related ! It was created by a different impact “only” 37.2 million years ago. It is 8.4km in diameter, and up to 360+ feet deep.


It's a popular recreational lake for fishing - perch, bass, pike, pickeral and trout. In the winter, cars and snowmobiles drive out onto the ice to ice fish.

Water feeds in from the north and drains out the south via the Wanapitei River.
